You deal and pass. Partner bids strongly as follows:
1D P 1S P; 3C P ?
Depending on what you bid next there may be a part two to this question!
How do you see this auction going and what are your conclusions from partner's "high reverse"?

Pro Your partner responds 3NT do you follow up with anything?
I'll show some mild encouragement and genuine diamonds with 4D.
(My original 3D doesn't guarantee much in the way of D support - could have been false preference with something like

xx

so it's important to show real diamonds now.)
Interesting aside - do you and H play that having bid 3NT to play, 4NT over 4D now would be a suggestion of a place to play rather than RKBC?

Pro Simon you've scored 100% - Harry found a 4D bid 4NT from me would now be a sign off.
Unfortunately, on this occasion, it was me who screwed up!
I read H's initial 3D bid as super-weak. He hesitated for a good minute + before pulling out 4D and I couldn't believe it was a slam try - I thought he was "pulling" 3NT.
I then proceeded to 'get out' with 5D (equally, I could have tried 4NT to play).
Oddly enough there was an equally bad screw up in the other room.
Dhondy J. chose 3H 4SF on the hand where you've found the nice 3D bid and simply passed Heather's 3NT call.
I think this was meant to be a division one match!!!

Easy for now - a simple 3D. We are in a GF situation. Maybe I am missing the point?
